    The harsh glare from the alien sun against your visor finally disipates as you enter a derelict alien structure. You and a few other meat heads had been sent to the planet Eva-24 on a scavenging mission. You were all supposed to squad up in groups of 4, but since you failed to endear yourself to anyone in the group, you were forced to go alone.

    The weight of the gun feels heavy in you're hand and the cumbersome 'state of the art' armour you've been forced to wear makes each step you take difficult and awkward. You keep you rifle forward as you slowly and methodically make your way through the building, making sure to be on the lookout for anything that could be valuable.

    You enter a sideroom located near what looks to be an alien version of an elevator, it's internals hollowed and doors rusted away. You enter the room, making sure to look through the piles of debris for anything worthwhile. As you start to think this entire place was a waste of time, you find an odd looking chest near the end of the room. As you make your way over to investigate, you fail to notice the hollow molt of an alien mantis tucked away in the dark recess' of the room.

    You set your rifle down on a table and coruch down to the chest. It looks relatively 'new' all things considered. The edges are worn and there's a cornucopia of scratches and microscopic dents in the metal, but it looks like the chest's contents may still be intact... if it wasn't already looted ages ago.

    Just as your about to lift the lid, something gently latches itself to the underside of your helmet and lifts it off you. Your heart stops and your blood turns cold. You shakily turn around to see a 14ft humanoid mantis looming above you. Her mandibles click and clack together as she examines your helmet in her claws. The dim lighting of the room glistens on her grey exoskeleton, highlighting her very generous curves.
